THE WITCHES OF TEPOZTLAN (AND OTHER UNPUBLISHED OPERAS) describes
the cases of four different and rather obscure operas written by
equally obscure composers whose existence, whether fictitious or
real, is never confirmed by the author. By intertwining these four
stories in the form of a narrative fugue, this book invites the
reader to reflect on the conception of a masterpiece, the role that
biography plays in turning an author into an antihero or a mythical
figure, and the relationship between a work, its author, and its
interpreters. PABLO HELGUERA (Mexico City, 1971) is a visual
artist. His work, which includes writing and performance, ranges
from making phonographic recordings of dying languages to driving
across the American continent (The School of Panamerican Unrest).
He is the author of The Pablo Helguera Manual of Contemporary Art
Style (2005), an etiquette manual for the art world, and the novel
The Boy Inside the Letter (2008).
